life

Imagine waking u thinking

You’re going to school stinking

Yeah.. you got a washer/dryer

But nobody has been cleaning

And you’re young so when you’re screaming

And saying you won’t be eating

They laugh and then it sinks in

Its just reality

Sometimes your family is a fallacy

It’s sad to see

Exactly why I had to leave

But when I left, my tears were streaming

I was mad at me

Let me take it to the top

I was just a kid when I seen rocks in a pot

She was telling me she was cooking

But I promise you we weren’t eating

Times were really crucial

So we were chilling at the Waite House

Everybody was eating like it's really their house

And we were playing in the hood

Nobody knowing if we were good

No matter if it was night or early day out

I would look around asking if its ok

We hadn’t seen our mom and dad all day

My brother would look at me and nod

Saying “I heard them cough, plus I’ve been hearing them talk to sissy lay down”

But I couldn’t I went to push open the door but it wouldn’t budge

Had to lay back in the bed and take it for what it was

I just wanted a kiss goodnight.. maybe a little hug

Then comes a knock

The front door gets kicked

And then its popped open

Guns drawn, men run in screaming they’re cops

Hoping they don’t shoot us, we lay there silently shocked

They get us, get us dressed

Round us all up in black trucks

On down to St. Joes we go

For another 6 months with people we don’t know..

That was then

Years down the line, now we in this again

Now I'm crying knowing that this will never end

Unless I tell what is really happening
